Hiding his smile, Altair wrapped the vaporeon tightly in a blanket—with no room to escape; put a cardboard box on the dragonite's head; and tossed Antares across the room and into a pile of mattresses.

It seemed that Antares had dozed off for quite some time. He was completely unaware of what was going on, and--
This is a problem.
...What?
Before he knew it, he was being flung across the building as if swatted by a deity. ...It wouldn't have been the first time he had been through that.
He landed on a bed.
...I suppose I should be thankful that the impostor did not see fit to harm me.
Us. He did not harm us. Regardless, this does not excuse his previous behavior... And, yes, you are correct in saying that he is an "impostor". Were it the true Yveltal, we would have morphed immediately.

Exactly what did I miss while I was sleeping?
Quite a few events. Hoopa appeared, and informed everyone of the game being played, which is "Never Have I Ever." We have not heard of such a thing, and thankfully the rules were... somewhat explained. A question is asked, and then the rest of the players must answer whether or not they have done the thing asked. If they have, they must drink some sort of potion. ...The effects vary from potion to potion.
I see. And what is the current question?
The current question is "Never have I ever drank alcohol." Obviously, we have not done such a thing, nor will we ever. It would be a waste of our time to indulge in such a meaningless activity.
[[ ok now here's the non-recap bit ]]
There was a pause, and then...
One moment.
What--?
His chest began hurting, and his throat constricted as though someone was strangling him.
A small, gelatinous thing emerged from the branding mark on Antares's chest: a Zygarde Core.
As it turned to face him, the pain disappeared, and Antares found that he could breathe easily again.
"What are you doing?" He whispered to the Core.
"I shall relay our answer to the other beings."
Antares was not used to hearing Zygarde speak without having the constant echoing in its speech. "...I can easily do that myself, I do not need--"
"We will do it." The Core hissed impatiently, and immediately rolled off of Antares and towards the other players.
The Core eventually rolled up to where everyone else was, and waited for a while, before saying,
"We have not consumed alcohol. That is all." And then it rolled away.
